Don't Throw Your Hands Up
The Cat Empire

(Verse)

I wait to the river, but the river was dry

Saw a little bird that caught my eye

Keep on running where you’re going

I tell you something I think’s worth knowing.


Cities come and cities go,

Time can move fast and time can move slow,

You’ve only got two arms on your shoulders


(Chorus)

Don’t throw your hands up only to cry.

Don’t throw, don’t throw,

Don’t throw your hands up only to cry.

Don’t throw, don’t throw,

Don’t throw your hands up only to cry.

Don’t throw, don’t throw,

Don’t throw your hands up only to cry.

Don’t throw, don’t throw,

Don’t throw your hands up only to cry.


(Verse)

I went to the mountain, what did I see?

A white bearded man with a color TV

He said “can you believe these kids today

Half of them are murderers and half of them pray”

For what, for what, I can’t reply

You sit and you stare as they pass you by

The rivers, the mountains, the parallel sea

Oh man, oh man, now listen to me.


(Chorus)

Don’t throw your hands up only to cry.

Don’t throw, don’t throw,

Don’t throw your hands up only to cry.

Don’t throw, don’t throw,

Don’t throw your hands up only to cry.

Don’t throw, don’t throw,

Don’t throw your hands up only to cry.

Don’t throw, don’t throw,

Don’t throw your hands up only to cry.


(Bridge)

Why not if love a little bit harder

Your sons don’t mind the sins of your fathers

Well then I’m dancing up in the sky now

Why not live life a little bit?

Don’t throw your hands up only to cry.


(Chorus)

Don’t throw, don’t throw,

Don’t throw your hands up only to cry.

Don’t throw, don’t throw,

Don’t throw your hands up only to cry.

Don’t throw, don’t throw,

Don’t throw your hands up only to cry.

Don’t throw, don’t throw,

Don’t throw your hands up only to cry.

Don’t throw, don’t throw,

Don’t throw your hands up only to cry.
